The greatest rivalry in rugby history was revived this morning, in a game that was seen as being the most vital to win for the All Blacks since playing in the last World Cup.
The Springboks were undefeated at the ground Nelspreet, at the Bombela Stadium, on the high veldt, and were favourites going in, after our losses to Ireland of course. And as you know that favouritism was emphasised by the size of the Springbok victory - 26 points to 10.
